A Selective CSMA Protocol with Cooperative Nulling for Ad Hoc Networks with Smart Antennas
Abstract
In this paper a media access control protocol is proposed for ad hoc network stations with adaptive antenna arrays. The protocol is based on the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) and uses omnidirectional RTS/CTS exchanges to initiate data packet transmissions. Unlike previous directional antenna MAC protocols, the proposed protocol accommodates the active nulling of co-channel interferers that may arise during the course of …
